A rare 50p coin could be worth hundreds of pounds thanks to a 'minting error' - here's what to look out for if you think you might have one lurking in your wallet
Certain coins can fetch a pretty penny, particularly if sold at auction or on platforms like eBay. Among the most sought-after is the Kew Gardens 50p, but there's another contender to look out for in your loose change.
This coin, featuring around 25 million copies with the late Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, could be more valuable due to a specific minting flaw. "When you flip it around, the Queen should be facing up, the same way as Benjamin Bunny. If the Queen is facing any other way, then you have found a very rare rotation error worth money."
